eSports fascinates over 380 million viewers around the world. It boasts prize money in the millions and has been a significant component of youth culture for some time now. Nevertheless, little is known about this exciting field from a scientific perspective. This is why the German Sport University Cologne is tackling this unique phenomenon with the eSports Project.
Be one step ahead of your opponents from now on thanks to reliable, scientific findings. As a participant, you will be making a considerable contribution to the further development of research and, at the same time, profit from the results regarding your performance.
We published our eSports-Study 2019 and received first knowledge about the health-related behavior and training habits of eSport players. You can see the results in the research findings. But of course there is additional research needed, to structure eSport even more professional. For this we developed a new eSport survey to cover some other topics.
We have developed Germany’s first eSport performance test and it is already being used by us at the German Sports University in Cologne. The test battery measures the eSport relevant abilities of the players in order to identify the potentials and discover weak points. The results are required to establish esport specific training programs.
Do you study in Cologne and are you interested in eSports within an organised framework? Would you like to meet like-minded people and, together with us, compete against the best universities in Germany? The FIFA and LOL teams at eSports Cologne are always looking for support at all levels!
